Item Description
I have decided to sell my beloved DA* 16-50mm because I shoot more film than digital these days and want an ultra-wide that's compatible with both.

I purchased this lens new sometime in the late summer/early fall of 2008.
At that time I did brick wall and newspaper "tests" to ensure I got a good copy, and I couldn't find any of the commonly reported flaws at that time, and have been perfectly happy with the lens since then.

The lens is in excellent condition. There are no cosmetic problems. The front and rear elements are in perfect condition, and I have kept a UV filter on it since purchase. I haven't had any problems with the SDM. The front cap has some blemishes due to the fact that I've dropped it on several occasions(not when it was attached to the lens, of course).

Included in the sale will be the lens, the original front and rear lens caps, the original hood, and a 77mm Hoya Pro-1 Digital UV filter($70 new).
